How does one legaly obtain a w98 license today?
I'm loosely contemplating setting up a build server for Emacs that would
build and deploy all bzr revisions of Emacs on each supported
platform.
I would like to use VirtualBox for virtualization.
Free OS:es are of course easy to obtain, modern non-free also, except
osx, because apple weirdly doesnt want to support virtualization in
their license. Old non-free os:es seems difficult to obtain in a legal
way.
